A

previous c section or scars!! multi-parity, twins, TOP, >40

21
Q

symptoms Placenta praevia

A

shock (expected) // NO pain // uterus non tender // fetal heart usually normal

22
Q

invx Placenta praevia

A

do NOT perform digital exam until USS // transvaginal USS

23
Q

grading Placenta praevia

A

I = placenta reaches lower segment but not internal os // II = reaches os but does not covert it // III = covers internal os (not when dilated) // IV = completely covers

24
Q

further invx if Placenta praevia diagnosed

A

rescan at 32 weeks –> rescan every 2 weeks –> final scan at 36-37 weeks

25
Q

grades III/IV = c section between 37-38 weeks
